Hi,
I'm trying to update to 0.28 FROM 0.27.5 with the following commands:

git pull origin release && composer install && php artisan migrate

but keeps getting the following error:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be owerwritten by merge:

And then a long list of php-files, js-files and svg-files.

I haven't changed any of these files as far as I know.

What to do?

I had the same issue.

After i did the backup like discriped Backup routine, i did a

git reset --hard

Before the update.

That worked fine for me and i didn‘t lose any of my configuration.

I don‘t know if its the best way but its simple and worked for me

I will try that and let you know if it works.

Hmmm... it got a little bit longer, but now I get this:

[ErrorException]
file_put_contents(/var/www/html/BookStack/vendor/composer/installed.json):

Did you manage to solve your issues @nimmerdk?

If not, looks like the user, that you're running composer as, does not have permission to the vendor directory. Happy to help further or I can close this if you have got things working or given up...

Not entirely as I'm still getting some errors. although it seems that my Bookstack eventually got updated.
But I managed to f*ck up my ubuntu machine so hard, that I have to start over, so I will be installing a fresh copy later today.

Since it's been a few months I'll close this off.
